I'm right in the middle of my weight loss right now, I've dropped 43 pounds and, though I'm feeling great, it's getting harder to stay super motivated all the time. The initial thrill is gone and healthy living is more routine now. So while running this morning I was reflecting on my body and how it's changed since I began this journey about 6 months ago.
Some NSV:
My elbow and knee actually touch when I do bicycle crunches now!!!! (this is very recent and has me thrilled)
I can now stretch out my quad by reaching across my back with the opposite hand (I was never flexible enough to d it before)
I can run!!!! (I cried last spring when I tried to and physically could not run I was so fat and out of shape)
I'm strong! (whenever I carry something you can see my arm muscles flex!)
I'm so grateful that I love myself enough to change. I love myself enough to fight through everything. I love myself enough to want to be the best I can be!
